Connections
SERIAL Terminals connection
Notes:
•  Use the RS-232C cable to connect the computer to the LCD Display.
•  The computer shown is for example purposes only.
•  Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specifi cation, so that the LCD Display can be controlled by a 
computer which is connected to this terminal.
The computer will require software which allows the sending and receiving of control data which satisfi es the conditions 
given below. Use a computer application such as programming language software. Refer to the documentation for the 
computer application for details. The SERIAL terminal is used when the LCD Display is controlled by a computer.
Communication parameters
Basic format for control data
The transmission of control data from the computer 
starts with a STX signal, followed by the command, 
the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. 
If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal 
does not need to be sent.
Notes:
• If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to 
wait for the response for the fi rst command to come 
from this unit before sending the next command.
• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this 
unit will send an “ER401” command back to the 
computer.With the power off, this display responds to PON command 
only.

picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.
Notes:
• Panasonic AUTO mode is designed to automatically adjust the 
aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. 
Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, 
may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. 
When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT 
be set to NORMAL.
• If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS/V-SIZE in Panasonic AUTO with 
FULL mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the 
mode, the screen will return to a former adjustment.

• If a “Cue” or “Rew” signal from a VCR or DVD player is received, the picture 
position will shift up or down. This picture position movement cannot be 
controlled by the PICTURE POS. / SIZE function.
•  If adjusting the PICTURE V-POS / V-SIZE in Panasonic AUTO with FULL mode,
